Symptoms you arrived with:
Chronic low back pain. Sleeping and sitting was almost impossible without severe pain. I was only able to sleep 2 hours at a time and sitting for even short periods was very painful. This was part of my life for 5-6 years.
How has your health improved, or what changes have you experienced?
Chiropractic treatments were initially very helpful but did not completely fix the problem. When combined with Mind/Body Healing and flower essences, the healing levels increased and were more consistent. The levels of pain seemed to decrease as well. My quality of sleep (8 hours) is more restful and I can now sit without constant pain levels experienced before.

Sally is a very easy person to relate to and her intuition and skills in both Chiropractic and complementary healing techniques are the best I’ve experienced in Nelson. We are very fortunate to have her clinic here.

After taking a bach flower remedy from Sally, his head shaking has stopped. His teacher has commented on how he is now being involved in classroom discussions at group time. He is also showing leadership skills. His relationship with his sister has improved and he now co-operates and shares.

Symptoms you arrived with:
Had a terrible cough for 3 weeks, throat and sinus infection, and was tired. Just couldn’t shake it. Anxious about my work situation, dealing with a lot of conflict in the workplace.
How has your health improved, or what changes have you experienced?
The day after I saw Sally, I woke up and for the first time in weeks I didn’t have a huge coughing fit. My sinuses cleared, my voice sounded normal and I simply stopped coughing. I went to work and felt as though I could handle the stresses there. The conflict was still needing to be sorted out but I wasn’t feeling as panicked by it.
Any other comments you might like to make:
Since seeing Sally a couple of weeks ago, my energy levels are back up and I’m enjoying cycling again. I have dealt with the conflict at work in a way that I am really happy with. Most of all, I feel hopeful again and this renewed sense of optimism has improved my work and my personal relationships. Thank you Sally.
